Recipe Ingredients for Homemade Beef Jerky

Recipe Directions for Homemade Beef Jerky

Blend seasonings and mix well into the meat. Put seasoned meat into a container with a tight lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, stirring a couple of times.

When ready to prepare, roll tablespoons of mixture between your hands to make a long, thin snake. Place on foil-lined sheet pan and flatten to about 1/16" (very, very thin!). You can use your hands/fingers to do this or try a rolling pin; I used my fingers.

Dry in a dehydrator, turning once, for 3 or 4 hours at 145F to 155F. Or, dry in the oven set to the lowest possible temperature for about 4 hours, turning once or twice.
